‘‘Jiṇṇohamasmi abalo vītavaṇṇo, [iccāyasmā piṅgiyo]

Nettā na suddhā savanaṃ na phāsu;

Māhaṃ nassaṃ momuho antarāva, ācikkha dhammaṃ yamahaṃ vijaññaṃ;

Jātijarāya idha vippahānaṃ’’.

‘‘Disvāna rūpesu vihaññamāne, [piṅgiyāti bhagavā]

Ruppanti rūpesu janā pamattā;

Tasmā tuvaṃ piṅgiya appamatto, jahassu rūpaṃ apunabbhavāya’’.

Ācikkha dhammaṃ yamahaṃ vijaññaṃ, jātijarāya idha vippahānaṃ’’.

Santāpajāte jarasā parete;

Tasmā tuvaṃ piṅgiya appamatto, jahassu taṇhaṃ apunabbhavāyā’’ti.

17. Pārāyanatthutigāthā

Ajito tissametteyyo, puṇṇako atha mettagū;

Dhotako upasīvo ca, nando ca atha hemako.

Todeyyakappā dubhayo, jatukaṇṇī ca paṇḍito;

Bhadrāvudho udayo ca, posālo cāpi brāhmaṇo;

Mogharājā ca medhāvī, piṅgiyo ca mahāisi.

Ete buddhaṃ upāgacchuṃ, sampannacaraṇaṃ isiṃ;

Pucchantā nipuṇe pañhe, buddhaseṭṭhaṃ upāgamuṃ.

Tesaṃ buddho pabyākāsi, pañhe puṭṭho yathātathaṃ;

Pañhānaṃ veyyākaraṇena, tosesi brāhmaṇe muni.

Te tositā cakkhumatā, buddhenādiccabandhunā;

Brahmacariyamacariṃsu, varapaññassa santike.

Ekamekassa pañhassa, yathā buddhena desitaṃ;

Tathā yo paṭipajjeyya, gacche pāraṃ apārato.

Apārā pāraṃ gaccheyya, bhāvento maggamuttamaṃ;

Maggo so pāraṃ gamanāya, tasmā pārāyanaṃ iti.
